Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's Quotes About Their Relationship

Once upon a time, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner were *that* couple. Throughout their four years together, up until their divorce in September 2023, the pair — who share two daughters together — used to gush over one other in various interviews.

Prior to his relationship with Sophie, the Jonas Brothers member was romantically linked to other famous faces, including Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid. After mutual friends convinced Joe and the Game of Thrones actress to meet, sparks flew.

“I expected him to show up with security and everything. I thought he would be such a d–k,” Sophie said during a March 2020 interview with Elle U.K. about her first date with Joe. “The best thing was that he didn’t bring security … I remember us two spending only a couple of minutes on the dance floor, and then we found a space in the far corner, and we just talked.”

The former HBO star recalled talking with the “Sucker” crooner for “hours and hours.”

“I wasn’t bored,” Sophie added. “It wasn’t contrived, it wasn’t small talk — it was just so easy. Soon, we were inseparable. And then I went on tour with him.”

Joe and Sophie took the next step in their relationship in October 2017 when the New Jersey native got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend. “I said yes,” she captioned a photo of her engagement ring at the time. Almost two years after getting engaged, the two tied the knot for the first time in May 2019. After attending the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, the couple invited their famous friends to witness the ceremony. The next month, Joe and Sophie traveled to Paris where they held a second bigger wedding with family and friends.

Sophie continued to pop up on tour with her once-other half and even appeared in two of his music videos — “Sucker” and “What a Man Gotta Do.” Not to mention, they used to constantly share glimpses into their home life via social media. In fact, Joe even revealed that Sophie helped him form a stronger bond with his brothers Nick and Kevin Jonas.

“It encouraged me to see she had such a great relationship with her brothers,” he told Harper’s Bazaar in June 2019. “That was really a big thing for me to be able to look at, and say, ‘I gotta get my s–t together.'”

Just like Sophie says, “And that’s the tea.” Scroll through our gallery to read Joe and Sophie’s sweetest quotes about their past relationship.

Finding Happiness

“A lot of [my happiness now] is to do with being with a person I’ve fallen in love with, who loves me more than he loves himself, and who wants to see me find my own happiness,” she gushed to Glamour U.K. in March 2019. “That was probably the biggest thing that pushed me to find who I am — and find my happiness in things other than acting.”

Prioritizing the Relationship

“It took me time to understand having someone in my life that I’ll do f–king anything to see Sophie for an hour,” he also shared in the documentary. “All of those years, our first love was music, our first love was the band. And so for me, as a teenager and a young adult, to see [Kevin] prioritize anything but was bad. But it took me a long time to understand that.”

On Keeping It Private

“I want to feel like an open book,” he explained in a new interview with Mr. Porter (per People). “But when [Sophie and I] started dating, I realized that I didn’t have a ton of stuff that was just for me. And in the end, it makes me a better person to have something for myself.”

“There have been a lot of situations in my career where, like [Harry Styles], a small thing has been blown out of proportion,” Joe said. “It’s had this trickling effect, which is partially why I decided to take a mental health break from social media. Now I’m addicted to not knowing what’s going on.”

Support System

In a November 2022 interview with ET, Joe revealed that Sophie helps him with acting auditions! “She tells me to do it again, and do it again and do it again. Luckily, just watching her do her thing is always inspiring,” Joe gushed. “I mean, I feel so grateful that I get to have somebody like her behind the camera when it’s time to put myself on tape.”

On Their Proposal

In a January 2023 interview with On Air with Ryan Seacrest, Joe shared the sweet couple’s proposal story. “I was probably more nervous to ask her dad than I was to ask her,” Joe laughed.

“It just all mumbles up,” he said of popping the question. “You throw out there and hope that her response is good, and you look back on it, and you’re like, ‘What did I say?’ Luckily it went well.”
